Because of the downsizing of bases throughout the 90s (that continues today), many bases have agreements with local civilian facilities to house service members who are awaiting court-martial at the base. Some bases just don’t have adequate brig/stockade facilities anymore. I suspect it becomes increasingly problematic for a defendant with such medical ailments, FWIW.
As long as they don’t send him to Club Gitmo. Those terrorists down there are getting over like a bunch of fat rats. This guy needs to do a little suffering.
Fort Sill, Oklahoma knows how to deal with the likes of that sucker. Send him there. That is the regional Army Correctional facility.
Frankly, I'd sooner see him at Club Gitmo, despite the up to date and fully operational status of the Texas death row facilities.
paging Jack Ruby... paging Jack Ruby...
One proble with civilian jails/prisons is that they are a breeding ground for our local radical islam...
Cushy.
Lets make this guy go directly to the principals detention at the nearest public school, and be done with it. Monday and Tuesday afternoon should do.
And, make sure that he is required to get picked up from detention by his defense aclu-type lawyer.
Usually, if a prisoner (military) is jailed on base or post, members of his unit pull 8 hour shifts watching him for suicide attempts etc.
Surely they could find a holding cell at Leavenworth for this guy.
Apologies if that’s already been suggested, I’m really watching UK - Vandy and didn’t read the thread.
federal property....why not use an Army jail?
This should read, "He was left paralyzed after he shot one police officer and was then shot down by another police officer which ended the massacre."
What??? No military lock-up????
Why not?
Web search for Escapes from Bell County jail and wasn't martrydom one of his aspirations?
The cynic in me wonder if sombody is hoping he’ll get shivved - no trial, no embarassing revelations, everybody can put their heads back in the sand.
"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed 11 [count now 13, or 14 if you include the unborn child of the 21-year-old female soldier -etl] people before being shot and wounded by police at Fort Hood, had said Muslims should "rise up" and attack Americans in retaliation for the US war in Iraq, a former army colleague said."
"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Major Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.
Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Major Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square" in New York."
